Size: 151 kBScope1.1 This test method covers a guided bend test for the
determination of soundness and ductility of welds in ferrous
and nonferrous products. Flaws, not shown by X rays, may
appear in the surface of a specimen when it is subjected to
progressive localized overstressing. This guided bend test has
been developed primarily for plates and is not intended to be
substituted for other methods of bend testing.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded
as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only
and are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate
safety and health practices and determine the applicability
of regulatory limitations prior to use.
